I always applaud this behavior when I see it, and it was one of my favorite features of turbolinks when it was still in vogue. Some people are on satellite internet. Some people are still on dialup. Some people are on a tiny sliver of a 3G

The alternative is living in a microcosm of your own product/company, as the rest of the world is the wild west with no purported conventions at all. So even if it's a disaster, it's a better disaster than not having recogniz

Pretty sure OP is confused by the concept of "first win" being the object of the first clause. It feels clunky if you don't read your English like you would read algebra.

Yes, and this is after Amazon personally contested a large percentage of the ballots, and after past events like them making fake drop boxes that allegedly led to failed votes in previous amazon unionization situations.

Privacy in the sense that zoomers' parents won't find their server.

The lack of discovery is precisely why it's so popular, in my opinion. Communities have a much easier time gatekeeping so you avoid redditization and have a much greater sense of privacy.

When my cohort was 12 facebook was cool as hell. Things really have changed, and I think OP is right. The facebook property has an expiration date.

This seems like a really, really good justification for the Rails Way of having a sane and predictable app file structure and layout where developers who have never seen your code before can jump in on day one and figure things out very qui

Being a coding camp mentor and having cold-call meetings with hundreds and hundreds of junior devs really helped turn these kinds of situations into something quite casual

I've been able to avoid nearly all of these by working remotely in a rural area for the last 5 years.

It’s changing, slowly. All the research supports starting at 9 or 10 is much better for childhood and teenage development especially, and many private schools and even some public school districts have started pushing start times back to 9

This is the most impactful, positive piece of legislation that affects my life that has been enacted since marriage equality in 2015. How sad is that?

We do this as well for anything that touches the UI, and oh my god has it made it easier for me to approve things (or deny them) when it's a bunch of UI stuff

They can literally deduce it from all your invoice and payment confirmation emails for every online thing you've ever got + bank statements.

Vijay+Ravi, I work with a large number of seed and pre-seed (many YC) startups who are in tough financial situations -- would love to see some kind of referral program as I will probably be referring a high volume of startups to your servic

In many scenarios, an issue that had already been abandoned / denied by technical support is suddenly picked up and fixed when I raise a stink on Twitter. For that reason I appreciate its existence

People ignore ads either way these days, I mean

by sam0x17 5y ago
Ads no longer work online, period. The ad industry is just 10 years behind acknowledging it. Most of what people pay for is just paying for the organic traffic you'd normally get with no ads so they don't give it to someone else.

This was a reality a few years ago (in particular, there was a very easy to use Monero cryptominer that ran in the browser) and then every major ad blocker and many major browser distributions blocked crypto mining and it's basically b

Yes, they need to prove that commercial real estate still holds any value at all, though I'm not convinced seeing this incredible shift towards remote economy. I think they just burned a bunch of money to be honest. Maybe in 15 years w

Like I've said before, they need to justify their multi-billion dollar campus. Barring that, I think we'd be seeing quite a different situation.

The only good panels now are also "smart" tvs with something like a roku or samsung spyware built in in an unavoidable way. You can't simply change inputs to avoid it because the whole OS you're changing inputs within is

If you want something barebones with the smallest possible transaction fees and a good API, Helcim was quite good at least a few years ago when I used it. This was for a project that did a lot of micro-charges and they were the only payment

Back in the day this was always one thing that had me begrudgingly and shamefully opening IE so I could save a page as an MHT file. So long ago now. Cool to see this idea has been revived and not in a proprietary way

The trading center of the world is NYC and/or Greenwich, CT if you want to be cheeky about it. If the NYSE was in SF, you'd see a lot more trading firms there. Fintech is largely not in cali, as well.

These days, many of these same individuals are literally buying plane-loads of chips fresh off the assembly lines in China, and have significantly scaled up their operations with their previous gains, so I wouldn't count it out.

Given that for many larger banks, medieval things like overdraft fees and "re-ordering" same-day transactions so that deposits appear later in order to create additional overdraft fees are a huge part of their bottom-line, it does

From what I've seen anything over 5% is usually ridiculous. At least for startups on a track to a billion $ valuation, most startups of this caliber (or that see themselves as being of this caliber, key point) will be in situations whe
